Which Glee boy's been dumped?

Time is up for one of them: Chord Overstreet (Sam), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) and Darren Criss (Blaine).

Two of these Glee boys have been promoted, one has been fired. Can you guess who?

Bad news, Sam fans: Chord Overstreet will not be returning for Glee's third season.

Overstreet joined the series as a recurring star for its second season, and has had... no substantial plotlines since. A source close to the show told TVLine that the actor could return, but only as an occasional guest star.

The writing was on the wall last week, when Overstreet tweeted:

"It's been a good year. Too bad it's over. Time for summer and starting fresh," he wrote. Subtle, right?

Other recurring stars/background fillers, Darren Criss (Blaine) and Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) have both officially been upgraded to full-time series regulars, effective from the start of Season 3.

Series show-runner and constant mouthpiece Ryan Murphy has trumpeted the upcoming season as one for the comedy musical's less-prominent characters.

"We’re writing stuff this year for [characters] who haven't had those big stories," Murphy previously told TVLine. "We have an amazing Mercedes story. We have a great Mike and Tina story. They're fascinating. I love them as performers and it's time they get their due."

So, are you sad to see Sam go before the rest of the cast, who are set to 'graduate' at the end of the season?
